4. Comparative Anatomy and Phylogeny of Primate Muscles and Human Evolution

   By Rui Diogo, Bernard A. Wood

   This book challenges the assumption that morphological data are inherently unsuitable for phylogeny reconstruction, argues that both molecular and morphological phylogenies should play a major role in systematics, and provides the most comprehensive review of the comparative anatomy, homologies and...

8. Morphological Evolution, Adaptations, Homoplasies, Constraints, and Evolutionary Trends

   Catfishes as a Case Study on General Phylogeny & Macroevolution

   By Rui Diogo

   The major aim of this work is, to help clarify the interrelationships of catfishes, with major implications on the study of the general evolution of these fishes. A great part of this work, therefore, deals with a cladistic analysis of catfish higher-level phylogeny based on extensive morphological...
